Barrel American Restaurant ·$$

Barrel is a neighborhood pub and bar specializing in whiskey, particularly bourbon. With a menu extensive enough to warm the cockles of any connoisseurs heart, Barrel ceratinly has its fair share of loyal customers. With a nice ambiance, the bar is mostly decked out in warm woods, giving it a warm, rustic look. The food menu isn't bad either, and popular favorites include the Carolina BBQ sticky buns; Fish pie with lobster, scallops, chard, potatoes, peas, morney and Bourbon baked beans. A good place to enjoy a post-work drink, they have a good happy hour; or just relax and watch a game on one of their TV's.

A great place to grab drinks/bites on the hill! I love seeing a small business do things well, especially when Pennsylvania Ave attracts big box restaurants. Service is always friendly, the vibe...

Brunchy fried rice was good. It was well seasoned but a bit spicy per some chopped chilies. I would say it's an overall medium spice level. They have varied menu options for all appetites....
